A group of 18 undecided voters will be in the Denver Post newsroom watching the debate and using handheld devices with buttons that will register whether the audience members like or dislike what the candidate is saying. The reactions will be playing real-time on The Denver Post's website along with the debate, so people logged on can see how the debate is being judged by the undecided voters.

The audience has handheld devices where they will rank from 1-10 what is being said every second or two - 10 being most positive reaction and 1 least positive. The overlay on the debate stream will show the average reaction instantaneously.
